Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being with us today.
I always have to start by pointing out any way in which I share a connection with the witnesses. I want you to know that my mother-in-law is from St. Boniface, her mother is from France and her father is from Belgium. Their last name is Windels. All that to say that my husband has roots in St. Boniface. I always think it's important to show that many Canadians across the country have francophone roots. I'm from Alberta, and I do.
Ms. Bouffard, the francophone community has its own culture, and 3.7% of Manitoba's population speaks French as their mother tongue. Does Université de Saint‑Boniface build connections with the community when developing its French programs? What is your university's relationship with the francophone community?
